The Gold Standard of European Craftsmanship

At Millers, we believe that a world-class piano deserves a world-class seat. The Hidrau Madrid BG1 is not merely a piece of furniture; it is a precision-engineered tool designed to support your posture, your performance, and your passion for a lifetime. While many "included" stools are treated as an afterthought, the Madrid is built in Europe to the highest possible standards, representing the pinnacle of comfort and mechanical longevity.

Sustainable Heritage: Ethical & Robust

Quality begins with the raw materials. The Madrid is constructed from premium European Beech wood, chosen for its incredible density and structural integrity.

Hidrau take their environmental responsibility as seriously as their musicality. Hidrau is committed to sustainably forested timber, ensuring every stool is PEFC and FSC certified. Furthermore, as a member of CITES, Hidrau ensures that every component is ethically sourced and fully compliant with international conservation standards. When you invest in a Madrid, you are supporting a legacy of responsible manufacturing.

Engineering Excellence: The Dual V Cross Mechanism

The true secret of the Madrid lies beneath the seat. While cheaper stools often feel "wobbly" or develop a creak over time, the BG1 features a sophisticated Dual V cross mechanism.

• Unrivaled Stability: This dual-bracing system offers substantially better support than standard mechanisms, ensuring the stool remains rock-solid even during the most spirited performances.

• Precision Brackets: High-quality, heavy-duty brackets are utilized to prevent the "play" and instability that often plague budget stools after just a few years of use.

• Ergonomic Comfort: The cabinet is designed with rounded edges on the wooden frame, preventing the hard "digging in" against the underside of the legs during long practice sessions.

The sophisticated adjustable mechanism that allows the stool to go from 47cm high to 57cm high, making this stool is suitable for pianists of all ages and can be easily adjusted in a mere moment. You can also rest easy knowing your stool is secure thanks to the steel bracing, preventing the stool dipping and rocking, ensuring durability and stability.

Personalise Your Performance: Interchangeable Tops

The Madrid is designed to be a bespoke centerpiece for your home. We stock the BG1 in a wide variety of wood colour finishes—from Polished Black and White to Satin Walnut and Mahogany—ensuring a perfect match for any acoustic or high-end digital piano. On the underside of the tops, the material is intricately sown in place, unlike more budget options that are typically just stapled in. This in turn, gives the top not only a more quality appearance, but also further adds to the durability.

To further tailor the stool to your interior design, we offer optional, interchangeable tops:

• Real Spanish Leather: For a luxurious, breathable, and classic feel that develops a beautiful patina over time.

• Premium Velvet: Available in a spectrum of vibrant and neutral shades to add a soft textural contrast to your room.
  

The Essential Upgrade

Whether you are purchasing a premium digital piano or a handcrafted Japanese acoustic, the stool is your primary point of contact with the instrument.

• For Acoustic Owners: Replace your old stool or the "budget" one often bundled with pianos, which frequently fail at the joints or lose their height-adjustment tension.

• For Digital Owners: Bring a sense of permanence, high-end aesthetics, and traditional "feel" to your digital setup.

Built to last, ethically sourced, and stunningly finished—the Hidrau Madrid BG1 is the last piano stool you will ever need to buy.
